That week in 2019 when the whole neighborhood went solar

Six houses on my block got panels the same week. Felt like a weird competition at first. Then my neighbor Nancy said her July bill went from $180 to $22. Has anyone else seen a whole street shift at once?

Same thing happened on my block in 2018. Felt like a race to see who could cut their bill first.

Our street did something similar back in 2019 but it was more like a slow trickle. One guy got panels and then everyone got curious about the numbers. Nancy's bill sounds about right but I think she might be forgetting the net metering credit or how much sun that roof actually gets. My neighbor Bob got a similar drop but only after he swapped out his old AC unit too. Those savings can get muddy if you don't look at the whole picture...

Bob's AC swap probably did more than he realizes for that bill.
